We were sorry to leave Karumba, it’s a very relaxing town but we headed south and then west to overnight at Gregory Downs (not much there, a pub and a couple of phone boxes) and this morning drove further west to Lawn Hill National Park - we are staying at Adels Grove, a real oasis with palm trees, bamboo and lush foliage. The Lawn Hill Creek runs through this area - it’s a pretty wide creek - and as it’s school holidays the place is full of school kids jumping and splashing in the creek. They aren’t the only ones, see picture, although this one was just having a sun bath. Not to worry, it’s a freshie and they don’t bite, or so the story goes, unless antagonized. There isn’t a mobile phone signal here and internet access at $5 a pop so don’t expect to hear much from us for while - we are here for at least 4 days.
mmmm... I don't care if it's freshwater, I wouldn't be putting a toe in that water! Uncle A said you were out of contact, so this is a message for when you're back in WiFi land. Freakin' cold here, but beautiful and makes for excellent sleeping. Prawns look good too. Hope cooking and eating is easier with Alice.
